THE LAW OF LOVE
Regardless of the many achievements that have been accomplished by people today in the fields of science, the arts, technology, social welfare and the distribution of economic resources - one thing is still missing:
Love. Only with Love can all these achievements be beneficial: of great value for all. Only with Love, can these be used in such a way that they have significance. If man does not embrace Love, he will lose everything and will experience ruin.
The Master preached about Love as the Path of Salvation for humankind. He revealed Her Manifestations, qualities, actions and Laws: the limitless Wealth of the perfect World from which he came. He bore witness to this World with his life, his Teaching and every deed.
The Master always had something new to say about Love. One day, he told us:
"The moment in which we attain Love, we will be One with God. When I speak about Love, you need to understand that I am speaking of the only Way of coming to know God. If we do not come to know God, He will not be able to give us His Knowledge.
"The Law states: when you speak about Love, speak with your softest voice. Speak so softly that you will hardly be heard. And speak softly about Light and Wisdom as well. Speak as softly as the dawn.
"Divine Virtue has a fragrance.
"If Divine Justice were to enter your heart, Truth - your mind, and Virtue - your will, you would be filled with an essential fragrance more sublime than that of the flowers. This fragrance - is called 'njuks'. No other essence that has been created by Nature is more fragrant than 'njuks'. This Essence is the elixir that the alchemists have been attempting to discover for centuries. When you are able to extract it, your joy will be greater than that of any man on earth. Your joy will be so great that it will defy description. The primary component of this Essence is Love: that Love of the One which you can perceive even when He does not speak. Love possesses a fragrance like that of a carnation: its scent can be perceived even at a distance.
"In this world, the Law of diversity exists which states: each is permitted to experience Love as he understands it, and none can err. Man does not need to be taught how to love.
"Another unique characteristic of Love is that man is unable to express his love in the same way to everyone. Your love towards each person is unique. Just as every person is a unique manifestation of the Love of God, each expresses his love in a specific way which you feel. The Love of God has a unique essential quality that no other love possesses. It is this which makes man unique.
"Love first manifests towards God, towards the Sublime; and then towards the weak, the needy and the abandoned. In the end She manifests towards the similar. This manifestation of Love is called 'the Love of resemblance'. Through this Love, a communion of beings occurs. This is Love in its state of ascension through which souls are able to evolve and the consciousness is able to expand.
"Should a good man with a weak character become enamored with one who is in darkness, the good man will start to err and will acquire the other's faults. When a good man's love is for the Divine, this will not happen.
"To dwell in the presence of Love, one must take the upward path: that is to say, one must connect with the Invisible World and with God. The good man is the one who is connected with those who are strong: with those who come from on High. If he is not, he will be vandalized for being good. And yet, when you are connected with the Ones who are strong - with the Divine - all your wealth is deposited in the Divine Bank and you cannot be vandalized; whereas here on earth, only your savings book is held.
"There is a Law that states: when two people either like or despise one another, they will receive from one another the most positive and virtuous character traits at first - and after that - the negative and bad character traits. This is an inextricable Law. Regardless of whether you like or despise a person, you will start behaving as he does. You ask, 'What can I do to free myself of this Law?' You cannot free yourself of this Law, but you can love the Divine within every human being. Therefore, love God in whomever He makes Himself manifest that you may begin to love as He does. For this reason, begin loving the Divine within all beings.
"Another Law of Love states: when you love another you will receive half of his good or bad state. Should he become impoverished, you will become poor as well. Should he become wealthy, you will acquire half of his wealth.
"Another Law states: even when all despise you, there will always be one who loves you. When all begin to love you, there will always be at least one who does not love you. This cannot be avoided. This Law is based upon our present level of development.
"You meet a person who appears to love you. Why does he love you? There had been a time when you wanted him to love you; and so, now he loves you. Unfathomable are the Ways of God.
"A Law is stated thusly: when you visualize that which is the most sublime about a person, he will become attracted to you.
"Another Law of Love states: when a person abides in Love, he will have the power to attract others to himself. Should he pass by a person - this is sufficient for him to be followed. However, the person abiding in Love will be only recognized by those whose consciousness has awakened. But for those whose consciousness has not awakened, he is considered as an ordinary man. The one who abides in Love can be compared to a flower in bloom which attracts the bees. Why are they all attracted to this flower? Because there is something that they can receive from it. This is what Love represents: the Ideal Existence. Should the Law of Love be imparted to us, we would have the power to attract others. One of man's tasks is to receive from God and pass on to others that which has received. When you love someone, it is because Someone else loves you, and with this Love, you love him. This is the Law of Oneness of Love.
"When I tell you that I love someone, it is because I am aware that this Love has already come to realization. It could have come to realization in the physical, the spiritual, or in the Divine World."
A brother asked, "How is Love able to become contaminated?"
The Master replied:
"All thoughts which reach you - these become your personal environment. When Love enters this environment, it absorbs from it the influence of your negative thoughts; and in this way, it becomes contaminated.
"One Law of Love reigns Supreme: the One who loves you rejoices over the least thing you give Him. The One who loves you may give you a small seed, and you should rejoice because from this seed, something great will come. Only Love is able to create something great from the least of things. Whenever a person lives outside of Love - the greatest of things will diminish; and yet, when a person abides in Love, the least of things will increase. We all need to test these things."

The semantics come when the veil is blinding a person from the truth. And once the establishment of law takes effect where the freedom of the Spirit should rule, then all the other rules and regulations become introduced as love's doctrine for whatever the religion chooses to call itself.
here is the diffence between true christianity and every other religion..
Christianity sees Jesus as the Way and the Door, and all provisions are made for us to enter by Him.
Every other religion sees Jesus as the One who shows us the Way and the door and we must make our own preparations and provisions to enter in..
The ones who see Jesus as the Door and the Way, choose the tree of life.
And the ones who only see Jesus as a teacher who shows the way, are forced to use the tree of knowledge of good and evil to regulate their way..
Unfortunately the WAY is entered through the denial of 'self', not through the glorification of self... |

LOVE
Love is the world in which the Divine Spirit lives.
The greatest world known to sages of all times, the world of which Christ speaks, is the world of Love.
And when we say that God is Love, we understand that Love is the essence from which all things proceed.
All worlds, through all eternity, have come forth and shall come forth from the source of Love.
Everything in the world lives in Love and by Love.
Everything that we see - stellar systems, suns, planets - all are manifestations of Love.
The entire cosmos in its completeness, the whole physical world is Love, manifested and materialized.
This is the great "body of God".
Outside of Love, we do not know God. Love is connected with all living beings. There is not a living being - there is no living matter - that is not influenced in one way or another by Love, that is not closely connected with it.
God, who is Love, is not only outside us, in the universe, but within us also.
He is the living bond between all that is "without" and "within".
Love enfolds all within itself. Love in itself is infinite, and everything outside it is finite.
Therefore, we say: Only Love is eternal. From it flows all life. Love brings the fullness of life.
Good, which is a fruit of Love, is contained within it.
Wisdom is also contained within Love, because it represents the forms through which God's Love is manifested.
Truth is included within Love, too. It is the purest image of Love.
Righteousness is also included within Love.
Therefore, the absolute Divine Love implies absolute Righteousness.
Where there is no righteousness, there is no love.
The physical aspect of Love is Righteousness.
In order that Love be manifested on earth, there must necessarily be Righteousness. Love is long suffering and charitable, but absolute Love requires absolute Righteousness.
Only he who is enlightened with Righteousness is capable of receiving divine Love.
Christ is Love, manifested in Righteousness, which shines forth within those who love Him.
Love is only for the great, strong souls.
Enormous energy is hidden within the man in whom Love dwells.
Remember: Love is not for the sick. Love is only for healthy people.
The sick and the dead do not love. Only the living, who are filled with the Divine Spirit - they are the ones whose hearts pulsate with Love.
Do not be deluded: the sick, the spiritually dead, are not illuminated by Love.
And when you hear someone say: "I am a man of cold reason, I cannot love, I have no time to spend on such trifles," know that that man is foolish.
The wisest, the greatest thing in the world is Love.
The wisest Being, of whom it is said that He is Love, loves. He Who has created the worlds, Who has made everything, Who has filled everything with life, Who has made all sacrifices - He loves, and this pygmy with his "cold reason" has no time to love!
Christ descended to earth to proclaim Love, and the persons of "cold reason" cannot love!
Journey through the heavens, the whole universe, tour through all worlds, and all will tell you that God is Love.
And if you ask an angel: "Does God love us?", he will answer you: "Better ask me to give up all my consciousness, everything that I have acquired throughout all ages, than oblige me to answer your question - whether God loves you!"
Indeed, God cannot be untrue to Himself. If we accept that God could be untrue to Himself, we admit that there exists some exterior force that could limit Him. And that is unthinkable. Love is unchanging. It always illuminates us.
Remember the words of the Scripture: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."
This means: that because God loved the world, He sacrificed His most beautiful, most elevated, His "only begotten Son," in order to uplift those souls who believe in Love.
And truly, one can believe in but one thing: in Love. Any other belief is false.
Love stands above nationality. Love stands above any religion. Love itself creates the religions.
There are no religions in the divine world. There exists only Love. The atmosphere of the divine world is Love. Therein everything breathes Love.
Religions appear because Love cannot manifest itself on earth.
If you wish to do the will of God, by all means, replace religion with Love.
Then everyone who loves you will be priests and ministers in your temple.
The greatest thing in the world is to come to know God as Love.
The beauty of our life is in our connection with God, who is Love.
Love contains within itself all conditions, all possibilities, all methods by which the human soul might develop to its fullness.
Only love can awaken within the soul its hidden potentialities.Science and art cannot be the stimuli for the awakening of the human soul. This is temporary knowledge.
The only true work in the world is the science of Love. It is the great object of learning for the soul.
When man becomes conscious of love as a great and mighty power, his soul and spirit awaken, and he enters into actual connection with the physical, the spiritual, and divine worlds. Only through love can man understand the relationship that exists between these worlds, as well as the meaning of life.
Do not forget one thing: in the life of a man there are only ten good opportunities to come in contact with love. Every ten years there is a possibility for that mighty power to start working. The remaining part of man's life is assigned to learning.
If man succeeds in grasping one of those possibilities - one of the rays of the great sun illuminating the entire cosmos - then everything that is lofty and noble in his soul will begin to bloom, bear fruit and ripen.
The fruits of the soul ripen only under the rays of that sun.
When the first ray of Love shines out for you, you will experience within your soul such indescribable bliss, such light, such a mighty impulse in your mind, and such a striving of your will, that all obstacles of the world will begin to melt before you.
A few moments of existence within the divine Love are infinitely more precious than a thousand years of ordinary human life spent in great pleasures and enjoyments.
In loving, we seek God. We have to love God in order to receive and experience Him.
In receiving Him, we experience His wisdom.
It is written in the Scripture: "Thou shall Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself."
This is the only law that manifests itself in three worlds.
Loving God, you are in the divine world.
Loving yourself, your soul, you are in the spiritual world.
Loving your neighbor, you are in the physical world.
If man adheres to this law, there will be no power in the world that can resist him, no thought that will not be subject to him and that will not help him to attain his ideal.
However, remember a great truth: only God loves because God is Love. There is no man who can love of himself.
Man can be only a channel of Love, but he cannot love of himself.
To want someone to love you, means that you want God to love you.
God, desiring to manifest His Love towards you on earth, has to select a person as an instrument and manifest Himself to you through this person.
It is enough even if only one person on earth loves you.
Love, in its divine sense, is an intelligent manifestation of two exalted souls at the same level of mind, of heart and of aspirations - two souls equally noble and spiritually uplifted.
Only two such souls can understand each other.
Love between two such souls is like music. Because only two true virtuosos can play together.
Often you ask: "Who loves us?" In the presence of the person who loves you in the divine way, whatever grief you might have, whatever disappointment you might have gone through, they all disappear at once. You will feel relieved and enlightened.
Love is recognized by the following feeling: when a person loves someone, he sympathizes with him, he treats him as he treats himself. If this feeling is not manifested, indeed, there is no Love.
The feeling of forgiveness comes out of love. Only love forgives.
True Love is stronger than death. He who loves never dies. Love brings immortality. People die because of lack of love.
If a mother has strong and unfailing love towards her children, death cannot take them away from her. Nothing can separate two beings whom love has united - death nor any power on earth. Love forms the most enduring ties in life. And when two souls are linked in such an enduring union by the power of love, they form one soul, twice as mighty and bright, with two consciousnesses. These two souls, when they meet another two souls united in this same way, come in contact with them and form a still mightier soul. The four souls then unite with another four and form a still mightier collective soul. So this divine process of love continues, that alone is able to form enduring, inseparable unions between souls.
In this way, all souls unite in the divine Love into a whole so mighty, so enduring that no power in the world can sever its inseparable ties.
Each soul of that whole lives within the other souls and they live in it. Thus unity in plurality and plurality in unity is realized.
The salvation of man depends entirely on Love. And when Love manifests itself in man, even though he has fallen, he can at once rise above the circumstances.
The happiness of man too depends on love. In happiness man feels a broadening and a completeness, due to the Love that has come to him. Then man hears the voices of all living beings and feels the pulse of the universal life.
Love is the collective manifestation of all intelligent beings who have ended their evolution and have become one with God. The love of one of these beings is the collective love of all.
And if the love of one being is not the collective manifestation of all intelligent beings, it is not love at all.
Therefore, the supreme, ideal love is manifested in love towards all people without their suspecting its source. To love men even when they hate you and wish you evil, to serve them continually, without their knowing it - that is ideal love, that is serving God. This is one of the fundamental traits of divine Love - it comes to us regardless of whether we are sinners or not.
Magic strength is hidden in Love. It is the key which opens everything that is closed. Love has its own sacred name - the lost magic word that the cabalistic searched for throughout all ages.
The sacred name of Love - that is the magic key to immortal life. With it all negative energies are transformed into positive ones. A man can do anything with it. That is why it is said that everything is possible through Love.
The only power that can magically reconstruct the entire being of man is Love. It has to penetrate everywhere within him, penetrate to the smallest recesses of his soul in order to transform him.
Love must fill the human spirit. It must manifest itself fully, perfectly, boundlessly within the human soul. It must abide also in the heart of man as its essence and content. It must act in his mind as a cherished power.
There are four manifestations of Love in man.
Love is aspiration within the heart.
Love is feeling within the soul.
Love is power in the mind.
Love is principle in the spirit.
And that is the whole cycle of development, from beginning to end.
Love as aspiration moves toward the center of the earth. These are the roots of Love.
Love as emotion moves toward the sun - these are the branches. Love as power is manifested only in geniuses and in saints. It is manifested in all who sacrifice themselves for a divine cause.
Self-sacrifice is a manifestation of love as power.
Only a man who has intellect can attain the realization of love as power.
Love as principle is just entering the world.
It embraces everything.
When Love manifests as power, there exist attraction, repulsion and contradictions. When Love manifests as principle, all contradictions cease.
Man must pass through all phases of love. He has to pass through love as aspiration - through its roots; through love as emotion - through its branches; through love as power - through its blossoms, and then enter into love as principle to taste the divine fruit of Love.
The world will not be transformed until Love permeates it.
Love is a great fire that brings life.
There is not a more terrible power than Love for those who are in disharmony with it.
The torments of hell will be theirs. The fire of Love, like a great wave, is coming now into the world.
It will melt everything that cannot endure the high intensity of Love.
When Love is not understood correctly, its sweet juice, by the action of a certain astral fermentation, is turned into a peculiar type of wine.
People get intoxicated by this wine when the impulse of love appears within them and they commit thousands of sins and crimes.
But you, who think, recognize this wine of human love, which is formed subsequently from the sweet juices of Love.
Go fearlessly down to the roots of Love.
Expand yourself among its branches.
Bloom as a flower of Love.
Become the fruit of Love.
And when you enter into the world where Love's fruits ripen, you will sing the song of him who has completed the great circle of Love - from roots to fruit.
Listen to that song:
"God is Love,
eternal, boundless,
full of life -
life of the gentle Divine Spirit,
the Spirit of sanctity,
the Spirit of charity,
the Spirit of complete peace and joy for every soul."
And you will hear the response of the loving souls:
"We shall walk on that path of Light,
within which reigns Divine Love."

In order to witness the completion of God's LOVE and authority over all, then the very letter of the law must be removed.
I see this clearly that love and law do not mix together.
And I am not saying that God is not the ultimate authority and His will of His LOVE ruling the heart and soul of mankind will not be placed in effect as a universal and eternal establishment through all of creation.
I am saying that this will NEVER transpire through mankind needing to redeem them selves from the curse of this world through the use of the very thing that brought the curse in the first place, which is the desire to make judgements between good and evil.
Incidently this original post is not some brilliant NEW teaching that the world needs to hear right now. This knowledge of right and wrong is an innate quality in all of mankind, that is calloused and obscured through each individuals perspective and environmental upbringing.
However it is appealing to those who have no knowledge of grace in Christ, because it entices the need for improvement...and that is something that is agreed by everyone, that this world needs more love. And in the process of attempting to fulfill the need for more love in this world, LOve itself has become bastardized into a regulation, and separated from its own purpose to set people completely free.
Romans 5
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. |

THE ALL-EMBRACING LOVE
"Each leaf needs to love all of the other leaves on the tree because of its dependence upon them. An interconnection exists among all beings. You need to have an intrinsic relationship with all living beings. We are searching for that relationship which existed among all souls in the Beginning.
"Within every being - plant, animal or man - you will find at least one good quality for which you can love. For as long as some people are agreeable to you while others are not agreeable, you will regard things from outside of Love.
"Even within the least form, an Angel is hidden who after thousands and millions of years will transform this form and reveal to it the knowledge that it carries within itself
"Now you will study the Love towards the whole. This is the Law which God will teach you. By yourselves you will not be able to learn this Law. Someone else will need to teach you. Who? Only the One who has Knowledge can show you how to love the whole. Who is this scholar? God. If you do not learn from Him, you will remain ignorant.
"What does a river need to do while it passes by the trees? It needs to leave something of itself. What does a man need to do when he passes by other people? He needs to leave something of himself. If they are dead, he must awaken them, ignite them, set them aglow. If you enter into the all-embracing Love, when you find yourself in Nature, you will listen to the singing of the birds, the humming of the insects, the flying of the butterflies, and you will rejoice. You will then look at the flowers in bloom, the trees that bear fruit and the sun that shines, and again you will rejoice. And lastly, when you go among people and listen to how they speak, you will again rejoice.
"In the all-embracing Love, all beings will become your friends. The reptiles as well as the frogs that are looked upon with revulsion will become your friends. You will look at them with sympathy rather than revulsion. When you encounter a turtle, a frog or a snake, you will know why the turtle carries its shell on its back, why the snake crawls, why the frog is cold. To apply this Love - this Knowledge - means to become a sublime, great spirit.
"In my opinion every heart which is not open from morning until night that it may give everything it has and accept everything which falls upon its lot is a heart that is not normal.
"When you enter into the all-embracing Love, you become connected with the whole Universe. You will then feel the suffering of all living beings.
"You love one person; God desires that you love others as well as you do this soul. This love you have for one is a model for God to show you how you need to love the others as well. "If a grocer has only one customer, he will go bankrupt. If a man loves only one person, it means that he is a grocer with only one customer. If he loves one hundred people, he is a grocer with one hundred customers. The more people you love, the more profit you will have. The greater the number of souls which you are connected with that much more your consciousness will be invincible and your memory - stronger. Man's success depends upon the number of souls with which he is connected. If you love one person, your knowledge is equal to one. If you love two people, your knowledge is equal to two. The number of people that you love will define the degree of your knowledge.
"In the all-embracing Love, you will feel an intrinsic joy. The consciousness of all beings forms one unity, and you will communicate with this collective consciousness.
"The great Love is like a great water. The great water is not murky; it does not produce silt. The small water is murky and does produce silt.
"The Teaching which I give is not a teaching of ordinary morality. It is a Teaching of great Love. She can improve the health, enlighten the mind, expand the heart, give impulse to the spirit. To whatever party you may belong - from whatever nation you may come - make use of this Teaching.
"When I see a man, I do not wish to know any details from his past. This is not of my concern. Why impart any negativity to myself?
"The one who plays music or sings - be it to an audience or to one person - must be loved by them.
"One soul who loves you is sufficient for you to be supported in the times of hardship in your life. Imagine then what can become of a man when not only one soul but countless souls direct their love towards him. Such a man can become a singer, a musician, an artist, a man of science: whatever he wishes - he can become.
"We can imagine then what progress - what sublime culture - will exist on earth when the Love of all towards all does come."

THE GREAT UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD
There is on earth a lodge of learned men who meet once a year to discuss various scientific questions. These initiates know about the earth - its past and its present - much more than contemporary scientists, who represent the official sciences. But concerning the future of the earth even these men of the lodge know nothing positive and they make assumptions about it.
Besides this lodge of initiates on earth, there is on the sun another lodge of great Initiates who know positively not only the past and present of our planet but also its future.
Both lodges are only organs of that great universal organism of perfected, highly advanced beings who form the Great Universal Brotherhood.
These perfected beings are much more advanced than even the greatest men of genius on earth, because they emerged much earlier from the Primal Source. They all have followed a particular path of development, under the guidance of the Divine Spirit, to that degree of advancement which they have attained at present.
When we speak of the Great Universal Brotherhood, we mean that hierarchy of intelligent beings who have completed their evolution millions and billions of years ago and who now direct the entire cosmos. They direct it because they themselves have participated in its creation under the guidance of the Divine Spirit.
When we consider how wisely the entire universe is constructed, with all its galaxies, and with all its innumerable suns and planets, or if we look only at the mechanical and technical perfection with which the earth is constructed, we might comprehend the power of mind and spirit those creative geniuses had who realized the Divine plan of the universe.
These beings range in a hierarchical order according to the extent of their knowledge and development and according to the service they perform. They are known by the following names: seraphim - brothers of love; cherubim - brothers of harmony; thrones - brothers of will; dominions - brothers of wisdom and joy; mights - brothers of movement and growth; powers - brothers of external form and art; principalities - brothers of time, condition and measure; archangels - brothers of fire and warmth; angels - bearers of life and vegetation. The last, the tenth rank, will be occupied by the advanced human souls.
All of these together represent the great Cosmic Man.
The activity of all those beings is so harmoniously distributed that each one knows when, how and what to do. They direct the functions of the great universal organism which includes within itself all solar systems.
Our understanding is that there are three types of solar systems. The first - the organs of the starry universes - forms the material, the physical world, made from the densest matter, though it has various degrees of density. The second is made from finer substance, the substance of the spiritual world, and is part of the angelic world.The third type of solar systems, in its totality, forms the divine world and is made out of the finest and most superior substance.
Heaven, spoken of in the Sacred Scriptures, is not that blue vault over our heads behind which universal space disappears and in which, during the night, stars shine brightly.
Heaven is organized by higher beings, by great souls, and therefore it is great in its activity. The angels who inhabit heaven are great souls who constantly send their light to the whole world. The energy of their mighty thought is distributed throughout the entire cosmos and as a collective power moves everything in the world.
Do not think that the angels are immaterial beings, something like spectral phantoms. They are beings whose bodies are highly organized, formed from pure radiant substance. An angel can control his body in such a way that it can become visible and invisible. He can freely travel through boundless space with a speed greater than that of light; he can roam through solar systems and starry universes.
The angels also are at different stages of development but generally they are divided into two great Kingdoms. Those of the higher kingdom rarely descend to the earth, but those of the lower one come often to help in the spiritual upliftment of mankind. These great brothers of man came forth from the human race, but followed their path of evolution billions of years before man, under more favourable conditions which they used wisely.
And if the life of humanity advances according to plan, if cultures flourish on earth with their sciences, religions, and arts, if men have an eternal aspiration toward development and perfection, it is because these intelligent beings, who are closely connected with mankind, constantly work and care for them. Love, joy and life flow from the angels' hearts. And thanks to their inspiration, men live and strive. The angels wish for humanity to attain the light which they have, the freedom which they enjoy. They desire to teach men to live according to the great laws by which they live. They apply the most intelligent laws in the world. They live the purest and the most sublime life, a life of absolute unselfishness.
In their great self-abnegation, these loving servants of God come down to earth in human form to help people. In one form or another they constantly send their ambassadors to the earth. All men of genius, all great people, saints, adepts, all men of science, writers, statesmen who promote the advancement of humanity in one or another direction - all of these are servants of the Great Universal Brotherhood. It chooses the most advanced souls from among humanity and prepares them for spiritual work among their brothers. Among contemporary humanity there are persons who have finer spiritual powers, who have finer constitution. They are distinguished by their highly organized and pliant bodies because they live an absolutely pure and saintly life. It is their extraordinary development which makes them suitable to be spiritual helpers of humanity. The most highly advanced among them completed their evolution on the earth and possess immense knowledge. They have extensive knowledge of the positive, absolute, Divine science which has existed since the creation of the universe. Many of them live on earth for thousands of years. Having passed through the process of resurrection, neither death nor rebirth exists for them. These men, called "Sons of God", within whose spirits and souls God lives, and who are connected with the entire rational world, with all advanced beings in all solar systems, are those great souls, Masters of humanity, who have attained the highest manifestation of thought and deed, in every field. They are those mighty spirits who, openly or secretly, inspire humanity to advance. You will discover these brothers behind every spiritual activity on earth, behind every spiritual manifestation; they are behind every great man, every great poet, musician or painter.
In order that a man of genius may appear on the earth, it is necessary that thousands of souls of genius be united to express themselves through him.
In order that a Master may appear, it is necessary that all intelligent souls be united in him.
What is Christ? Christ is a collective spirit. He is the totality of all Sons of God from whose souls and hearts flow love and life. All Sons of God united into one, all intelligent souls who live in divine oneness - that is Christ. In this sense He is the head of the Great Universal Brotherhood.
And the star, mentioned in the Gospel and which appeared at Christ's birth, was something living: it was a unity of living beings descending from the heights to proclaim the coming of Christ. But only the three wise men from the East, great initiates, saw and knew the star. And these three wise men were also servants of the Great Universal Brotherhood.
Therefore, remember: the only great Community which exists at present in the world, is the Great Universal Brotherhood.
Those members of the Great Universal Brotherhood, who guide the development of humanity and lead it toward a bright future, do not form any society or organization visible to men. They constitute a living unity, a rational community, which exists beyond the corrupted conditions among which men live.And therefore it is ridiculous to say that the headquarters of that brotherhood is here or there, in this or that country.
All those great Brothers who work in the spiritual spheres of earth belong to seven hierarchies, seven categories. Some of them belong to Love and are called the "Brothers of Love". Others belong to Wisdom and are called "Brothers of Wisdom". They inspire the sciences and arts and bring knowledge to humanity. Others are called "Brothers of Truth". They bring freedom to men's minds and hearts. They introduce that freedom which makes the human spirit, the human soul, the human mind and heart, free - free in the full sense of the word. Still others are called "Brothers of Justice" and they bring righteousness to humanity and have at their disposal those invisible blessings which contemporary men need. Some are called "Brothers of Virtue", and others, "Brothers of Beauty", and at last come those who have the name of "Jehovists".
However, those are not the real names of these brothers. I dare not pronounce the real ones for they are sacred.
These Brothers are not ordinary, as people might assume. Every one of them can take the earth in his hand and throw it like a ball in space! And they can do this because behind them is something that is still mightier, more sublime, which they serve.
And if some men think that they can defy these Brothers, this reveals that they do not understand the profound meaning which inheres in the expression, "White Brother". If it is a question of force, these Brothers have at their disposal the mightiest force. They know the functions of the human brain so well that in one day they could cause all of humanity to fall asleep. What are the most powerful contemporary weapons before the power of these great Brothers? But they do not want to use force - they allow men to experience things for themselves, even at the price of thousands of sufferings because only suffering can ennoble and correct humanity. And one day men will come to know that in the world there is a great, just government, the citizens of which - the sons of God - are the wisest beings, who live according to God's laws and do His will. Not a nation will remain which has not experienced the power and the might of this just government.
But if today men do not follow the right path, the reason is that, counterbalancing the Great White Brotherhood, another lodge of intelligent beings works, beings who do not understand the deep meaning of life and have a diametrically opposite comprehension of it. They constitute the so-called Black Brotherhood. The Black Brotherhood is a hierarchy of beings who have various ranks according to the degree of their intelligence. In order to give you a clearer concept of their functioning, I shall say that while the White Brotherhood works in the branches and the blossoms of life, with methods pertaining to them, the Black Brotherhood works in the roots of life. While the White Brotherhood works in the head and breast of the cosmic man, the Black Brotherhood works in the stomach, the liver and the intestines. Therefore, the White Brotherhood is connected with the positive forces, with the good, and the Black Brotherhood with the negative forces, with evil in the broadest sense of the word. But at present both forces are necessary for the manifestation of life. Their services are strictly defined.
Besides these two schools, there is a third one - the school of the Great Masters who are from a higher hierarchy and direct the activities of the first two. They use the methods of both for their great aims but belong neither to the one nor to the other of the schools. They are those Great Masters of the Universal Brotherhood who guide the entire cosmos and who, after the completion of each evolution, create new waves of evolution according to another plan and another rhythm.
Under the guidance of their mighty spirit, those advanced spirits who created the solar systems, including our own, at one time descended from the highest peaks of creation They also created and organized the primal "cosmic" earth - what was once "paradise". On that "cosmic earth" still live those perfected forefathers of men who completed their evolution. They are the great ancestors of humanity.
Those creators of the past, those great ancestors still descend to our earth. And they will transform it into a paradise. Together with them will come those 144,000 souls spoken of in Revelation and among them there will be representatives of all past and present nations. All saints, adepts and Masters from time immemorial will come. Their mighty spirit will direct all awakened souls throughout the earth and all of these together will establish perfect order and harmony in the world. After they finish their task, they will withdraw and will leave humanity to live and work under the new conditions. Thus, the communication between the visible and the invisible worlds will be restored.
This is the way in which the Great Universal Brotherhood has worked, works now, and will work in the world.
And it will work until the one Love, the one Wisdom and the one Truth envelop all of creation.
Then every living thing will praise God in sacred peace and harmony.

LOVE WILL GIVE THE NEW CULTURE THE STRUCTURE
"A human order to the world exists at present. But this will be destroyed. From the way in which people have worked in the past and how they work today - the world cannot be improved."
"Someone will say that God has created some people to be masters, others - servants; some rich, others - poor. This is a misconception. This world - this order in which some go hungry while others eat lavishly - has not been created by God. Others will say, 'Why does God allow all these evil deeds - all these social injustices to happen?' All these are done by people but they blame God for them.
"The verse, 'Everything that has been made has been made through Him' - relates to the Eternal and the Great Acts in the world; but the temporal, transitory things are not of God. Everything that man does of his own will is not from God.
"Some cite the verse that every authority is given by God. In this verse, something is omitted. It should read: every righteous authority is given by God. And in every righteous authority, the Law of Love must be included.
"Modem culture is being put to trial. The culture which has been built on sand is not stable. People do not know how to live, how to eat. They do not know how to build their homes, etc. What expectations can you have of such a world? And yet, everything will be transformed.
"The new Teaching gives the right methods as to how the future society will be built.
"Those cultures which have been based on power have disappeared.
"The Teaching which I bring to you is tried. Within it are hidden the basic methods which show people how to live. I bring to you now that Divine Teaching upon which the future order will be based. This Teaching is upheld by the Law of the Intelligent Nature.
"When the right time comes, the caterpillar will say, 'For such a long time now, I have been eating and drinking; I need nothing more. I leave the leaves for the others.' She cocoons herself. From out of the cocoon, the butterfly flies into the wide world and begins to feed off the sweet nectar of flowers. When will the world improve? When all of the caterpillars transform into butterflies.
"Society's problems can be resolved in a very simple way. They will be resolved when the new Consciousness enters into man.
"You may say that all people want a new order. This is well I agree with you. But what will happen if a new order comes, but your old character - your shortcomings - remain? It is easy to destroy the old, but what can be achieved with your bad character? How would you benefit if you tear down your old home but cannot build a new one? Nature does not permit this: She destroys and builds simultaneously.
"The moment in which you err you enter the night. The tragedy lies in the fact that people desire to do all things in the night.
"It is not the external conditions which create hardship for man, but the internal. God created this world with all the proper conditions for man's existence. Everything which they desire is provided. That is to say, that with regard to the external conditions, everything is favorable; but the internal conditions are missing: for example, the new Consciousness is missing. The cause of this lies hidden within the spiritual realm. Your mind and heart must pass from one state into another.
"Some seek to give structure to people. The world has order. Every man whose consciousness is awakened belongs to the World of Order. However, this world whose consciousness has not been awakened has yet to begin to prepare itself to enter the World of Order.
"Contemporary people wish to build, to restructure the whole of the humankind first, then the society, after that - the home and lastly man. Yet this way is not correct. I will. give you the following explanation. Take the most prominent musicians who have completed their education in music. They have mastered their art, and with them, you can put together any kind of orchestra that you wish. Within ten to fifteen minutes - or a half an hour at most, you will see that you have the best orchestra with the best performers. Why? Because each one of them knows his score perfectly. And yet, should you bring together people who have no knowledge of music and try to set up an orchestra with them, even if ten of the best conductors come to conduct them, nothing will come of it.
"People seek a material improvement in the order. But a spiritual improvement must take place as well. Someone will say, 'In order for the world to be a better place, a material improvement is necessary.' Make an experiment, and you will see.
"What kind of consciousness am I speaking of? Man must set Love as the foundation of his life and through Love, create the new Consciousness.
"The suffering of people today is greater than it was at the time of Christ. The resolution of the most difficult problems will come through Love. Love will come in a real, living form and will sweep away everything old.
"The nations of modern Europe exist in the phase of destruction. They do not apply the Teaching of Christ, but the teachings of a distant past. War is a remnant of the most ancient beliefs. This is the old culture which appears in new forms.
"My basic idea is the following: all social problem must be resolved through Love. How are we to resolve the social problem? Replace the absence of love with Love. Love resolves all contradictions: mental, emotional and social."

Question: "What is the Unity School of Christianity?"
Answer: The Unity School of Christianity is considered a classic pantheistic New Age cult. It was founded in 1889 by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, and incorporated as a church in Kansas City in 1903. There are approximately 110,000 members, with over 300 Unity churches. It is one of the largest metaphysical groups in the United States, and has a huge mail-order base (its magazine Daily Word has millions of readers).
The Unity School of Christianity got its start through an illness. Myrtle had developed tuberculosis and was searching for anything that would heal her. After attending a lecture by Dr. Eugene Weeks, a disciple of Quimby's New Thought teachings, she learned about metaphysical healing. Two years after this lecture, and after much research and personal application of metaphysics, she claims she was healed. Her husband, while skeptical at first, began to study metaphysics also, as well as other religions and philosophies. What emerged was the Unity School of Christianity, named so after Charles heard a voice say to him, "unity." This name fit well, as the Fillmores' religious philosophy was a mix of New Thought, Christian Science, Divine Science, Hinduism, Theosophy, Rosicrucianism, Spiritualism, and others. As quoted by Charles, they "borrowed the best from all religions." Excited by Myrtle's healing and by the knowledge they had recently acquired, they began holding meetings to teach others their new theology.
The Unity School of Christianity claims that through adhering to its teachings people can be happier, healthier, and achieve their divine potential. Six of its main teachings are: 1) All sacred writings of all religions contain spiritual insights, and should be interpreted metaphysically, though spiritual insight can be gained without consulting holy books; 2) God is an impersonal principle, and is found in all things, animate and inanimate, and all things are in God; 3) Jesus was just a man who obtained divine consciousness, and became the voice of God to humanity; 4) Because the divine nature is found in all things, man is also divine; 5) Salvation comes through obtaining perfect union between one's mind and the divine mind, by obtaining divine consciousness--there is not sin to deal with; and 6) Reincarnation annuls the dissolution of spirit, soul and body caused by death.
Obviously, the Unity School of Christianity has nothing whatsoever to do with biblical Christian teaching. The Bible refutes each and every point of Unity theology: 1) The Bible alone is the Word of God, given to mankind so that we might each come to know Jesus Christ in a personal, saving way (John 17:17; Psalm 119:89, 140; 2 Timothy 3:16-17); 2) God is an extremely personal God Who created all things, and while omni-present, He exists apart from His creation (Psalm 139:7-12; John 1:1-5; 14:6; Ephesians 2:4-5; Hebrews 1:3); 3) Jesus is the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity, God manifested in human form, being fully divine while fully human (John 1:1, 14; 5:18; Acts 4:12; Philippians 2:6-7; Colossians 1:15-18); 4) Mankind is not divine, but fallen, and is in need of salvation due to his sin nature (Isaiah 64:6; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:23; 1 Corinthians 3:3; 1 John 3:4); 5) Salvation comes through faith in Christ alone (Isaiah 7:14; Luke 2:11; John 3:16; 1 John 2:2); and 6) Because of sin, mankind experiences physical death only once (Hebrews 9:27).

THE BODY OF LOVE
Present-day people see and are conscious of only their physical bodies. They study the body's anatomical structure, and its physiological functions, and they are amazed at its complex and wise organization. Because of this, they begin to think that not only physical life, but man's soul life as well, is nothing more than a manifestation of the body. If the body disappears, man as an individual being also disappears.
It is true that the physical body is destroyed after death. But that which is destroyed and disappears cannot be the real abode of man, of his soul, of his spirit.
Neither are the real vehicles of man those finer bodies - the etheric, the astral and mental bodies of which occults science speaks.
Occult science maintains that man has seven bodies. Their various names and classifications you will find in occult literature.
These bodies, through which the perfect man functions, actually exist. But not all seven might be called, in the real sense of the word, "bodies." In fact, only three of them are bodies, and the other four ere sheaths.
I give a new interpretation to these three essential bodies, and call them the body of Love, the body of Wisdom and the body of Truth.
The body of Love - the real body of man which never dies - is at present being built, but only its foundations are laid. The other two immortal bodies - the body of Wisdom and the body of Truth - exist only in germ. Special epochs will come for their development.
The whole life of man, in the physical, the astral, the mental, and the archetypal worlds, has as its only aim to prepare the material for the building of the body of Love.
Love permeates these four worlds, the four sheaths of man. These four sheaths are the laboratories in which the material necessary for the building of the body of Love is being formed.
These sheaths are only some of the means by which Love reveals itself. Continuous changes take place within them - they themselves appear and disappear according to certain periodic laws. These sheaths are changeable, but a part of them never disappears, and remains as constant spirit-germs for the physical, astral and mental.
The Higher Self is something like an atmosphere for these spirit-germs. It is connected with a world which contains the possibilities of the physical, the astral, and the mental worlds.
Before man enters the world of Love, he must pass through the world of archetypes where total reconciliation of all contradictions takes place. The archetypal world is the world of reconciliations.
The world of Love in its essence, is the permanent world in which everything is brought to realization. It is the great world in which life truly realizes itself.
Therefore it is only in the world of Love that all of the wishes which man has in the physical, astral, and mental worlds are realized. They may be realized only when the body of Love is fully developed.
When I speak of Love in man, I mean the development of this body. Only when it has been developed will man be resurrected and gain eternal life.
Then he will be free from all of the restrictions and difficulties of temporal life. He will no longer be subject to the abrupt changes which are connected with periodic births and deaths. He will not continually be born and die, but will live eternally. He will continue to be among men, not according to the karmic law, but with the freedom of Love. He will appear among men as a Son of God, to help them.
A man who has this body, who has attained resurrection, can be visible and invisible. The whole earth is open to him and no barriers, physical or spiritual, exist for him.
All of Living Nature knows him and responds to him. He is known to the most evil of men and to the wildest of beasts, and they are obedient to him.
He who lives in the body of Love has no enemies, for he brings life, peace, and the realization of every cherished wish. He brings gratification of all needs to all beings.
To have the body of Love means to manifest Love, to live Love.
And Love is eternal life and eternal rejuvenation, eternal knowledge of God and eternal increase of freedom.

Love is a choice over Fear and Hate. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 151320
Actually the OP has a good definition of how love is manifested and seen, But in all reality this perfect love cannot exist unless the Holy Spirit of Love is birthed in mankind's spirit. ONLY then can God's love manifest through the human soul. And if you look past the revelation of what love is in the OP's comments and try to understand how this love they speak of can be acheived, then you will find that the core of the OP's teaching leads you right to the tree of knowledge of good and evil in order for us to make our judgements regarding love.
And whenever mankind looks to the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they become under a law of their own design and standard. and are in rebellion to the pure LOVE that is found in God's freedom from all demands upon us.
And the curse of death remains, as all the knowledge of good and evil is good for is to glory in our acheivemnets and exalt our own selves by our correct choices to be Divinely accepted. as well as place judgements on others.
The knowledge tree of good and evil spawns judgement, which spawns hatred and divisions. There is no UNITY to be found through divisions and judgements made through this knowledge.
We are all sinners, end of story, and until the sin is removed from our lives we are in rebellion to God's perfect love. And the sin we have is judgement..Only through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus can we be removed from the curse of judgement and begin to forgive others. Only by experiening forgiveness in Christ can we express true love to others who have not experienced His love.
Without Christ, there is no love...only a need to strive for perfection...and perfection is impossible for a sinner to acheive...as long as their sin is still remaining. |

THE SACRED FIRE
There is a sacred fire in the world which burns with the flame of eternity.
In this sacred fire the ancient prophets and wise men saw the supreme manifestation of God.
"Our God is a consuming fire" is written in the Scripture.
It is true, this fire consumes - but what does it consume? That which is mortal, physical and sinful.
When that fire acts in the world, some of the people burn up, others are melted, and still others come to life and are resurrected.
All great immortal souls coming forth from God carry this sacred fire within themselves. Wherever they may go in the boundless universe, they work with its help.
And all those souls have one and the same conception of it:
The sacred fire is the fire of Love. Love contains the sacred fire in which life is hidden.
Therefore, where the sacred fire is burning, love is manifested, immortal life is manifested and the fruits of the Spirit grow and ripen.
This fire fills all of space because it is that which sustains life.
It burns within man, too. And while it is burning within him, man is healthy and cheerful. Everything within him is harmonious - metabolism, blood circulation, and breathing. Feelings are right, thinking is right, and deeds are right.
The sacred fire creates a pleasant warmth in man. When that fire burns, man has a feeling of well-being; harmony and peace reign within him.
If this peace disappears from man's soul, it indicates that he has lost the sacred fire and has entered into the ordinary fire. And the ordinary fire burns and scorches - it forms smoke, soot, and ashes.
There is absolutely no smoke in the sacred fire. It creates a pleasant warmth from which life flows.
Therefore, when the sacred fire burns in man, dissatisfaction, doubt and oppression flee from him. If the faintest dissatisfaction and indisposition appear in man, this is a sign that he is outside the sacred fire.
Within the sacred fire, absolutely all thoughts, feelings, and desires are harmonions.
Then man feels what is called heavenly bliss.
And indeed, man can have no peace within himself without the sacred fire. Without it, it is inconceivable for man to have reasonableness. Without it, love, faith, hope, mercy and humility are inconceivable. In short, the manifestation of any virtue is impossible without the sacred fire.
All virtues grow and develop within the sacred fire. Without it, nothing can grow.
Therefore, man cannot live a good life in which virtues manifest themselves, if the sacred fire does not burn within him.
There is no need for man to kindle the sacred fire. He must learn only to keep it burning within himself. By itself this fire never dies out.
It is faith, it is love, it is hope, it is knowledge, it is wisdom, it is truth that cause the sacred fire to continue to burn in man.
The invisible world now acts through this fire. It uses this fire as the most powerful means of purifying man and earth.
The earth is already entering into a new sphere in which matter exists in a virgin state. Here all things will be purified and reorganized. The fire which begins to act on the earth will kindle this matter, and purify and transform it, so that it will be suited to respond to the more intense impulses of the new life.
Everything that endures the mighty currents of the Divine Fire will remain to be used in life, but that which cannot endure the intensity of this fiery wave will be thrown out as unnecessary cinder. In space there are also channels through which the dirt and scrap of life are thrown out.
Of course, no instrument could ever measure the temperature of this fire. It is much higher than the temperature of the sun.
Only this fire is able to purify the hearts and the minds of men and to prepare the earth for the blossoming of a new culture. Only after the earth passes through this fire - and that will last for many ages - will it enter into a new epoch.
That which is true for the earth and humanity as a collective whole, is true also for the individual man. The new life cannot begin for him until the sacred fire is kindled in his soul.
But once the sacred fire flames up within him, he will become magnetically attractive for all, and people will be kind to him.
Think about the sacred fire in which God manifest: Himself.
Think about the sacred fire which all perfected soul: carry within themselves, and keep it burning.
Keep that fire burning, because in this way you sustain your very life.

UNITY IN LOVE
"Show thankfulness and appreciation to everyone who helps you. Love comes from God. He who loves you is a transmitter of God's Love. Someone may brag that he has done you a favor, that he has done you good. He is not telling the truth.
"Christ says, 'I have come not to fulfill my will, but the Will of my Father who has sent me.' Within you dwells a misunderstanding, a dissatisfaction. It originates from the fact that you do not understand that Love is unified and undivided. It is naive to think that two or more people love you.
"There exists in the world One alone who can love you. No one else.
"Some think that many people love them: their father, mother, brothers, sisters and friends. In reality, this is not so. If you think that many people love you, this is only as it appears to be so. You are loved by only One: God. As soon as God comes to love you, all people will love you.
"This is a true story about two young people who loved each other. After living together for ten years, the man noticed that his partner had begun to see his weaknesses and had started to criticize him. He then disguised himself as a young man and started to flirt with her, writing her love letters. The woman said to her husband, 'I know men who are refined and noble.' He agreed with her admitting that he was not so refined. Sometimes the man in his disguise would say to his wife, 'Your husband is a very good man; love him.'
"Through all who love you, it is One Being who is loving you. This is God. Since Love is indivisible, when someone tries to divide Love, suffering is born.
"Man thinks, feels and acts, but he needs to realize that God is working from within. If a man thinks for a second that he himself is doing everything, he is on the wrong track. Someone accomplishes something and imagines that he is the author. Out of affected piety he says, though, 'God did this.' No, one must be honest with oneself and admit that God is working through us. Man can be compared to a mailman who opens his mailbag, takes out a letter and hands it to you. When he reaches another place, again he opens his mailbag and hands out another letter. This is how he serves people. You may think that by carrying letters and handing them out you will become poor. No, you will become rich. You fill the mailbag with letters, and you are rich. When you hand out the letters you become poor, so that you may fill the mailbag again. By handing a letter to the people whom you love, you befriend them. You have not written the letters; you only hand them out.
"So often we say 'my love'. It is important to come back to the unifying Love - that is, to the Love of God - in order to let this Love manifest through us. Man needs to come in contact with the clean air, not the unclean. By clean air, I mean the all-embracing Divine Love. By unclean air, I mean love with admixtures.
"God wants something of us now. He does not demand it by law. We need to see what God is asking of us.
"When you love someone, do you not wish to know what they are like?
"God, who has come to love us, adjusts to do things on our terms. For thousands and millions of years until now, it has been God who has been making the adjustments. As He did adjust to us, we also need to adjust to Him.
"Here is how this happens: man needs to have an excellent mind in which God can manifest; an excellent heart in which God can manifest; an excellent soul in which God can manifest.

Would you care to elaborate on this state of excellence that must be found in mankind before God can manifest His authority and love?? |

By elaborate, I mean explain how personal excellence is acheived. |
